Proposal for draft amendments to UN R79 for the 15th session of the ACSF informal group

Vehicle manufacturer input concerning override force requirements for automated steering systems, including a proposal for an alternative to fixed limits.

Proposals concerning the draft amendment to introduce emergency steering and automated lane-change functions into UN R79. Document GRRF-84-36 has been formalized as document GRRF/2017/27 for consideration during the special 85th GRRF scheduled to finalize a proposal for automated lane-change systems.

Proposal to specify a light general-purpose street motorcycle without fairings or windscreens having an engine capacity between 400 cm³ and 600 cm³ as the approaching vehicle in the testing of automated lane-change systems under UN R79.

Proposal to require that a lane-keeping system used in conjunction with a lane-change system keep the vehicle centered within its lane of travel. The intent is to ensure that the vehicle starts its lane-change maneuver from a position where lateral movement signaling the impending lane change would be more easily detected even before the vehicle crosses into the adjacent lane.

Draft amendment, pursuant to the 15th ACSF informal group session discussions, to introduce provisions for the approval of driver-initiated automated lane-change systems and for Emergency Steering Systems, including proposed amendments from Germany and Japan.
